So, if I wrote an AI preface to somebody else’s book, they lose their copyright?

Seems very unlikely. Can you cite any case law for this?

I think it would depend on if there's a way to differentiate what parts are ai generated or not (the preface could be part of public domain but not the rest of the book)
